55edo divides the octave into 55 parts of 21.818 cents. It can be used for a meantone tuning, and is close to 1/6 comma meantone (and is almost exactly 10/57 comma meantone.) Telemann suggested it as a theoretical basis for analyzing the intervals of meantone, in which he was followed by Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart. It can also be used for mohajira and liese temperaments.
